MORRISTOWN — The removal of Morristown’s Northumberland Street bridge continues as part of a $2.1 million Lake Ontario Resiliency and Economic Development Initiative project implemented by the state in the wake of massive flooding along Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River in 2019.

On May 10, state, county and town officials were on hand to witness the removal of the foundation of the second half of the Northumberland Street bridge, which had been closed since the 2019 flooding. A previously constructed bypass road allows for the bridge to be removed without major traffic implications for those trying to cross Morristown Bay.
